CF Montreal vs Cincinnati predictions for this MLS clash on Sunday at Saputo Stadium. Montreal want to keep climbing up the standings and get closer to the leaders, while Cincinnati need the three points to boost their chances of reaching the playoffs. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
CF Montreal
A good run of results has meant that Montreal are currently fourth in the Eastern Conference, five points behind the first-placed New England Revolution.
Montreal are not known for their goal-scoring prowess, but they make up for it by eking out victories by the smallest margins and with a good defence that has not conceded many goals so far this season – 11 goals in 12 games.
In the last match between the two teams, less than two months ago, Montreal lost 1-2; that match was also played at their home ground.
Cincinnati
Cincinnati come into this game in inconsistent form, as they have been scoring few goals but conceding many. Nevertheless, they perform strongly when playing away, and eight of their 12 total goals have been scored away from home.
Cincinnati is also unbeaten in four straight away games after three wins and one draw. This is an amazing record for a team that is struggling both defensively and offensively in the manner detailed above.

CF Montreal vs Cincinnati Predictions
Although Cincinnati have proven themselves to be a strong away team, we believe their current away winning streak is unsustainable, especially given their struggles in both attack and defence. On top of that, they are facing a team that is very strong defensively and, therefore, we think CF Montreal will win this match.
